Description

M/A-COM’s MAAM12021 is a high performance GaAs
MMIC low noise amplifier in a low cost SOIC 8-lead sur-
face mount plastic package. The MAAM12021 employs a
fully monolithic design which eliminates the need for
external tuning networks. It can be biased using 3- or
5-volt supplies and has an option for biasing at higher
currents for increased dynamic range.

The MAAM12021 is ideally suited for use where low
noise figure, high gain, high dynamic range and low
power consumption are required. Typical applications
include receiver front ends in the Global Positioning
System (GPS) and Japanese Personal Digital Cellular
(PDC-1500) markets, as well as standard gain blocks,
buffer amps, driver amps and IF amps in both fixed and
portable systems.

M/A-COM’s MAAM12021 is fabricated using a mature
0.5-micron gate length GaAs process. The process fea-
tures full passivation for increased performance reliability.
